The saga of MultiVersus is a case study in the gaming industry, often cited alongside the notorious failure of Concord. Yet, despite its impending closure, the game has one last act to perform with the announcement of its final characters: Lola Bunny and Aquaman.
This news has stirred a mix of emotions among the fanbase, with some expressing their frustration in extreme ways, including threats directed at the developers. In response, MultiVersus game director Tony Huynh issued a heartfelt statement. He pleaded with the community to refrain from such actions and apologized to fans disappointed by the absence of their favorite characters in the game. Huynh also shed light on the complexities of adding new characters, noting that his influence over these decisions was less significant than many might think.
As MultiVersus prepares to shut down, players have expressed additional grievances, particularly about the inability to use their in-game tokens on new characters, a feature promised to those who invested in the $100 edition of the game. This unfulfilled promise might have fueled some of the more intense reactions from the community.
Despite the challenges, Huynh remains hopeful that players will find enjoyment in the content offered during MultiVersus's final Season 5, marking a bittersweet end to a game that has left a significant mark on the industry.
